is it really august?

i just cannot believe this summer is half over!

next week is VBS! it should be lots of fun! looking forward to it...but this is the 1st year that Stephen is NOT happy about it. and i have no idea why. this is Nick's last year to attend VBS. but he could be a 'helper' next year if he wants :)

the week after VBS is done, we are heading down south to Maryland to visit my bestie! i think it's been like NINE years or something! i'm so looking forward to rekindling our friendship :) and Hank is so looking forward to seeing the ocean!

me and juju

on our way back, we are hoping to visit some family in PA, whom i haven't seen in way too long! then it's home to unwind, unpack, and get the school shopping done! oy!

school starts on sept 6th. part of me cannot wait! LOL! but most of me says WAIT! summer just started!!

i'm hanging on to these last bits of summer and my boys' youth. they are just growing up way too fast!

Out of the mouths of babes....

3/24/11 Nick at the dinner table: "why do i have to be bossed around by so many adults?" hahahaha!9/13/10 Stephen: "let's stop talking about vampires right now-they are in the front of my brain, and i want them at least in the middle." :) 8/17/10 Jake says after we were discussing baptism: "I'm too little to be appertized!" LOL5/7/10 while watching the movie "the Tooth Fairy," just after the Rock gets hit in the private area with a tennis ball, Jake says, "oh! he got hit in his kiwis!" LOL i was hysterical for about 10 minutes!! haha!4/23/10 Hank and I were putting the boys to bed when Hank hugged Nick and passed some gas...Nick said, "Stephen! come here and hug dad and smell his filthiness!" hahahaha!3/2010: Jake said to grandma when she brought him a new comforter for his twin bed: "I love my new comfortable!" :)Jake said while riding in the car: "I just want to be a "man" when I grow up." :)We were out at Shenentaha park, the boys were riding their bikes on the path, and after about 30 minutes Jake said, "my am exhausted!" "exhausted?" I said. Jake said, "Do you know what exhausted means? It means my am really tired and don't have any more bike power." LOL (9/6/09)Jake: Mom, can I have some patella? LOL (he meant to say "nutella") The boys were watching "Flash" the series (i think it was made for TV in the 80's). A "bedroom" scene came on (kissing and such), and I said to Hank: "I don't think this is appropriate for the boys to be watching." At that moment, Nick placed one hand over his eyes, and the other hand over Hank's eyes! LOL! I guess Nick didn't think it was appropriate for daddy to be watching either!Nick: "Dandelions are suns shining in the grass!"Stephen: "Mom, I love you more than anything!"Jacob: "The trees talk to me." what are they saying? "I don't know. It's a secret!"Jacob said (while holding Stephen's bug vacuum): "I'm gonna suck up all the mean people & throw them in the garbage!"Stephen was playing with his farm set: "Daddy, is this a silophone?" LOL!Nick: "What kind of bird is that?"Me: "That's a humming bird."Nick: "What's he humming about?" :O)
